Specifically, the side setting is to move the patient table 153 in the x-axis direction such that the center of the object and the center of the bore 103 coincide on the x-axis.

For example, if the center of the object is shifted in the + x axis direction, the patient table 153 is moved in the -x axis direction. If the center of the object is in the -x axis direction, . To this end, the photographing unit 130 may sense the face position of the object and transmit the sensed face position to the table control unit 122. [ The control command signal relating to the side setting is transmitted to the table control unit 122 and the table control unit 122 controls the table control unit 122 to transmit the control command signal to the table control unit 122 in accordance with the face position of the object transmitted from the photographing unit 130. [ The table 153 is moved in the x-axis direction so that the center of the object comes to the center of the bore 103. [

Figs. 10A and 10B show an external view showing a specific operation of moving a patient table using a control device.

To perform a scan of the subject, the subject first lies down in the patient table 153. The upper body of the object may be directed to the scan unit 110 or the lower body of the object may be directed to the scan unit 110 depending on the scan region. In this embodiment, the upper body of the object is directed to the scan unit 110, and the image pickup unit 130 is mounted on the front and rear surfaces of the scan unit 110, respectively.

The images of the photographing unit 130 mounted on the front and rear surfaces may be displayed on the display unit 141a of the mobile display device 141, respectively. The display unit 141a may be divided to monitor the front face of the scan unit 110 and the rear face at a glance so as to display the image photographed at the front face of the scanning unit 110 and the image photographed at the rear face have. In FIGS. 10A and 10B, the display portion 141a is divided into left and right portions, but the embodiment of the disclosed invention is not limited thereto, and the display portion 141a may be divided into upper and lower portions.

The user monitors the position of the patient table 153 in real time while viewing the display unit 141a and moves the patient table 153 into the bore 103 by pushing the table movement key 142a-1 forward. The movement of the patient table 153 can be confirmed through the display unit 141a and the user operates the table movement key 142a-1 while confirming the movement amount of the patient table 153 through the display unit 141a The patient table 153 can be moved to a desired position as shown in FIG. 10B.

Alternatively, as described above, it is also possible to move the patient table 153 to the preset scan position at a time by pushing the table movement key 142a-1 forward.

As described above, when the movement of the patient table 153 is controlled by using the jog shuttle, the user can intuitively control the patient table 153 by matching the moving direction of the jog shuttle with the moving direction of the patient table 153 And can be provided with improved operational feeling.

When the movement of the patient table 153 is completed, the user can press the scan start key 142a-2 to start scanning the object. When the scan start key 142a-2 is pressed, a control command signal for starting the scan is transmitted to the scan controller 121, and the scan controller 121 controls the scan unit 110 to start the scan operation.

The image of the object photographed by the photographing unit 130 is displayed through the display unit 141a while the scan is being performed and the user can monitor the state of the object through the display unit 141a. For scanning, subjects sometimes take drugs such as contrast agents. A side effect may occur due to a drug taken depending on a target object, and the user monitors the state of the target object by watching the image of the target object displayed on the display unit 141a. If it is determined that a side effect such as vomiting or breathing difficulty appears, the user can stop the scan operation by pressing the emergency stop button 142a-5. When the emergency stop button 142a-5 is pressed, a control command signal for stopping the scan is transmitted to the scan controller 121, and the scan controller 121 controls the scan unit 110 to stop the scan operation.

There are many ways to monitor the condition of an object, but symptoms such as vomiting and dyspnea can be monitored by monitoring the face of the object. To this end, the face of the object must be included in the image of the object photographed by the photographing unit 130, and if the photographing unit 130 includes the face tracking camera, the face of the object can be automatically recognized and tracked and photographed. Alternatively, even when the photographing unit 130 includes a wide viewing angle camera that covers the entire object, the face of the object can be photographed regardless of the scanned position.

In order to scan the object normally, it is necessary that the object does not move. Accordingly, the user can determine whether the object is moving through the image of the object displayed on the display unit 141, and perform control according to the determination.

Fig. 11 shows an external view showing the operation of the control device for judging whether or not the object moves.

Although it is possible for the user to directly determine whether or not the object moves, the control device 140 can also automatically determine the object. To this end, the mobile control unit 141c stores the motion recognition algorithm, and the mobile control unit 141c analyzes the image of the object photographed by the photographing unit 130 according to the motion recognition algorithm to determine whether the object moves have. Any of the known motion recognition algorithms may be applied in the embodiment of the disclosed invention.

If it is determined that the object is moving, the user can be warned in various ways. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the position before moving the target object may be indicated by a dotted line or a solid line to be displayed together with the current image, or the border of the display portion 141a may blink in red, It may be displayed in one area that does not cover the object. Alternatively, it is also possible to warn audibly through a speaker provided in the mobile display device 141.

If it is determined that the object is moving, the user can press the scan stop button 142a-3 to stop the scan and input a voice requesting the object not to move through the microphone 142a-7.

FIG. 12 shows a control block diagram of a medical imaging apparatus capable of adjusting an acoustic output level, and FIG. 13 shows an operation of adjusting a sound output level using a control device.

The user's voice can be outputted to the scan room or the voice of the object can be output to the user as needed. 12, the mobile display unit 141 may further include an audio output unit 141g. The mobile control unit 141c may include a display control unit 141c-2 for controlling the display unit 141d, And a sound control unit 141c-1 for controlling the sound output unit 141g. The sound output unit 141g may be implemented as a device that outputs sound like a speaker.

For example, the voice of the object may be output through the sound output unit 141g provided in the mobile display device 141 to monitor the state of the object or exchange a conversation with the object. A signal corresponding to a voice of a target object input through a microphone (hereinafter referred to as a voice signal of a target object) may be provided to the mobile display device 141, Lt; / RTI > The voice signal of the object may be transmitted to the mobile display device 141 through the second interface 141e or the third interface 141f. The sound controller 141c-2 processes the audio signal of the target object and outputs it through the sound output unit 141g.

Referring to FIG. 13, a control command for an acoustic output level can be received through a sound level key 142a-6 provided in the input device 142. [ 13, when the user presses a key located in the upper part of the sound level key 142a-6, the signal generating unit 142b detects this, generates a control command signal corresponding thereto, And transmits it to the display device 141. The sound controller 141c-1 of the mobile display device 141 adjusts the level of sound output through the sound output unit 141g according to the transmitted control command signal.

Alternatively, the user may output the voice of the user through a speaker provided in the scan room to provide a guide necessary for scanning to the object or to check the state of the object. In this case, when the user's voice is input through the microphone 142a-7 provided in the input device 142, the signal generating unit 142b generates a signal corresponding to the inputted user's voice (hereinafter referred to as user's voice signal) And transmits it to the control unit 120 through the mobile display device 141. [ The control unit 120 may also include a function of controlling a speaker provided in the scan room, and outputs the voice signal of the user through a speaker provided in the scan room.

As shown in FIG. 13, a control command for the sound output level can be received through the sound level key 142a-6 provided in the input device 142. [ 13, when the user presses a key located below the sound level key 142a-6, the signal generation unit 142b senses the key, generates a control command signal corresponding thereto, and transmits the control command signal through the interface unit 142c And transmits it to the display device 141. The mobile display device 141 may transmit the transmitted control command signal to the control unit 120 to adjust the level of sound output through the speaker provided in the scan room.

In the above-described embodiment, the input unit 142a of the input device 142 is implemented in a general button manner. However, the input unit 142a may be implemented in a touch manner as described above. Hereinafter, the input unit 142a implemented in a touch manner will be described.

Figs. 14 and 15 show an external view of a control device in which an input unit is implemented in a touch manner.

Referring to FIG. 14, the input unit 142a of the input device 142 can receive a control command in a touch manner. To this end, the input unit 142a may be implemented as a touch panel. There are two types of sensors that detect touch: a resistive membrane (or a pressure sensitive type) that senses pressure; a capacitive system that senses static electricity generated by the human body; an ultrasonic system that emits ultrasonic waves to the panel surface; and a plurality of infrared sensors And an infrared ray method in which infrared ray is blocked at the contacted position. The input unit 142a does not restrict the manner of sensing the touch, and any of the above methods can be applied.

As a specific example, the table movement key 142a-1 may have a bar shape that can move back and forth in a certain area. The user touching the table movement key 142a-1 and dragging it forward can perform a function of pushing the table movement button 142a-1 implemented in the jog shuttle forward in FIG. 10A have. Accordingly, when the user touches the table movement key 142a-1 and drages forward, the patient table 153 moves toward the scanning unit 110. [ The patient table 153 can move the table movement button 142a-1 by an amount of dragging.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, the sound level key 142a-6 may have a bar shape which can be moved right and left in a certain area. The user touching the sound level key 142a-6 and dragging it to the left and right may perform the same function as pressing the sound level key 142a-6 implemented in the general button mode in FIG. Accordingly, when the user touches the sound level button 142a-6 and drags to the right, the sound level outputted through the sound output unit 141g or the speaker provided in the scan room can be raised, The sound level can be down.

Although the configuration of the input unit 142a is shown in Fig. 15 as the configuration of the input unit 142a of the general button type described above, the embodiment of the disclosed invention is not limited thereto. When the input unit 142a is implemented as a touch panel, it can have a variable layout and can be optimized for a user. That is, the configuration of the input unit displayed on the touch panel can be set and changed by the user. As a specific example, the keys for the primarily used functions are provided as default keys, and the keys for the other functions can be specified by the user. In addition, a user may call a hotkey function with a frequently used function.

The display unit 141a may be implemented as a touch screen. When the display unit 141a is implemented as a touch screen for recognizing a touch signal, a control command of the user can also be input through the display unit 141a. When a control command is input through the touch screen, the display control unit 141c-2 generates a control command signal corresponding to the control command signal and transmits the control command signal to the photographing unit 130, the control unit 120, or the scan unit 110. [

16 is an external view showing an operation of controlling the zoom function of the photographing unit using a control device.

For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the user can input a region of interest by touching the display 141a on which the image of the object is displayed, and the display controller 141c-2 includes information on the region of interest And transmits the control command signal to the photographing unit 130 through the third interface unit 141f. The photographing unit 130 is zoomed-in according to the region of interest input by the user.

There is no restriction on how the user enters the area of interest. As shown in FIG. 16, the photographing unit 130 may be zoomed in at the center of the drag region by dragging the region of interest with the center of the user's interest region, or a polygonal region such as a square or triangle You can also drag. Alternatively, it is possible to touch the center of the region of interest. The magnification to be zoomed in at one time can be set in advance and can be changed by the user.

Alternatively, if the user drags the outline or boundary of the ROI, the imaging range of the ROI 130 may be limited by the outline or boundary of the ROI. That is, it is possible for the user to input the region of interest itself rather than inputting the center of the region of interest through dragging. In this case, the zoom-in can be performed regardless of the preset magnification.

This allows the user to quickly respond to an anomalous symptom by quickly zooming in on the area of interest and monitoring the condition of the subject.

13 and 15, it is described that the sound output level is controlled through the sound level key 142a-6. When the display unit 141a is implemented as a touch screen, not only the input unit 142a but also the display unit The sound output level can also be controlled through the speaker 141a. 13 and 15, the user can touch a sound level icon displayed on the display unit 141a or drag a frame of the sound level icon to input a control command for the sound output level.

In addition to the above-described functions, the control device 140 can further perform various functions necessary for the user. Hereinafter, additional functions performed by the control device 140 will be described in detail.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17, a menu for calling a nurse (Call Nurse) and a menu for calling a respiratory therapist (RT) are displayed on a display 141a, If you select at least one, you can call the nurse or RT using the internal network of the hospital. The selection of the menu may be performed by touching the display unit 141a or by operating keys provided on the input device 142. [ In addition, the mobile display device 141 may directly use a communication network inside the hospital, send a call signal to the control unit 120, cause the control unit 120 to call a nurse or RT using a communication network inside the hospital have.

There is a case in which the object must be removed for scanning according to the scan region of the object. In this case, the blind attached to the shielding glass can be applied to protect the privacy of the object. Moving the control to the blind directly by the user performing the control on the workbench may reduce the working efficiency. Therefore, the blind mounted on the shielding glass can be implemented as an electric blind so that the user can automatically control the blind.

18, a blind control menu is displayed on the display unit 141a, and a user operates the keys on the display unit 141a or the keys provided on the input device 142 to perform an operation of raising and lowering the blinds The mobile display device 141 may send a control command signal to the blind so as to hit or raise the blind.

In order to scan an object, the object may need to breathe according to the guide. To this end, the respiration guide is provided to the subject, and the respiration guide is mainly explained by the user or provided in paper form. If the user explains directly, the workload of the user can be increased, and if the object is a foreigner, a separate manpower is required for the foreign language. In the case of being provided in the form of paper, there is a risk of loss, and it is difficult to effectively provide the breathing guide.

Accordingly, the mobile display device 141 stores the breathing guide image for each language, and displays a language selection menu on the display unit 141a as shown in FIG. The user can touch the display unit 141a or select a language by operating a key provided on the input device 142 and the breathing guide image of the selected language is displayed on the display unit 141a.

Since the mobile display device 141 is freely detachable with the input device 142, the user can take the mobile display device 141 to the object and provide the respiration guide with the image of the language appropriate for the object. Alternatively, a display device may be mounted on one side of the scan unit 110, and a breathing guide image of the language selected in the mobile display device 141 may be displayed through a display device mounted on the scan unit 110.

16 to 19 show that the mobile display device 141 and the input device 142 are docked. However, when the display unit 141a is implemented as a touch screen, The mobile display device 141 and the input device 142 may be docked and used.

In addition, the control device 140 may display a user manual through the display part 141a or may display a scan image of a target object in cooperation with the control part 120 or may display a medical image delivery system (PACS) : Picture Archiving Communication System).

In addition, regardless of whether the display unit 141a is implemented as a touch screen, when the mobile display device 141 and the input device 142 are docked, specific information is displayed through the display unit 141a, When the display device 141 and the input device 142 are docked, the mode selection menu may be displayed through the display unit 141a, or the mode may be switched to the specific mode.

As a specific example, when the mobile display device 141 and the input device 142 are docked while the image of the object is displayed through the display unit 141a, the mode can be switched to the table control mode. When switching to the table control mode is performed, the signal transmitted from the input device 142 is recognized as a control command signal relating to the movement of the patient table 153, so that the movement of the patient table 153 is controlled accordingly.

As another example, if the breathing guide image is displayed through the display unit 141a and the mobile display device 141 and the input device 142 are docked, the image of the object can be displayed.

As another example, when the mobile display device 141 and the input device 142 are docked after displaying the image of the object or the breathing guide image through the display unit 141a, the mode selection menu may be displayed.

FIG. 20 shows a display unit on which a mode selection menu is displayed.
